I Loved A Lass Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, I loved a lass,
and [F#]I loved [G]her, weal,
That I hated all others
that spoke o 'er her ill.
But now she's rewarded
me well for my [C#]love,
[G]For she's gone to be [C]wed to [G]another.
When I [F#]saw m[G]y love off to the Kirk go
We bride and bridemaidens,
they made a brave show
And I followed behind
wee a hateful woe,
For she'd gone to be wed to a nether.
[F#]When I saw [G]my love set doon to dine
[Am]I sa[G]t doon beside her[F#]
[G]an d poured out the wine
And I [F#]drank [G]to the lassie
that should have been mine
[E]But now she [G]is wed to a nether
The men in yon [F#]forest,
[G]they [F#]ask i[G]t o 'er [Am]me,
How many [Db]wild [Gb]strawber[Db]ries
grow in the sad sea?
And I ask, them back,
wee a tear in my [C#]eye,
[F#]How many s[F#]hips s[Gb]ail [Bbm]in the f[G]orest?
Gay dig me a grave,
[F#]bathe wide and [E]deep,
And cover it o 'er with flowers so sweet.
And I'll turn in for to take a long sleep
And maybe come time I'll forget her
